Ernie和Beth是大学同学,俩人想组个乐队。 不过,他们要先了解一下彼此的音乐口味是否相同。

Professor: So, let's find out what kind of music they like.

Ernie: So Beth, what kind of music do you listen to?

Beth: I listen to a lot of hip hop. What about you?

Ernie: I mostly listen to pop music, but I like a lot of different stuff.

Beth: Yes, me too. I mostly listen to hip hop, but there are many genres of music I like.

Professor: So Winnie, did you hear the music genres each of them likes?

Professor Bowman, 我正想问您,"genre"是什么意思啊?

Professor: It means "style" or "kind." For example, you can say a "music genre" or a "movie genre."

噢,原来 "genre" g-e-n-r-e就是类型,流派的意思。这么说,Beth 常听的是"hip hop",也就是嘻哈音乐。而Ernie常听"pop,"流行乐。Hmm ...我觉得他们的口味差得挺远的。

Professor: But are those the only kinds of music they listen to?

那倒不是。他们俩人都喜欢很多其它类型的音乐,也许还是能找到共同之处的。

Professor: Well, let's see. In the next section listen for the phrase "to get into something," which means to start to like something.

Ernie: How did you get into hip hop?

Beth: Well, all my friends listen to it, so I became a big fan too.

Ernie: Who is your favorite hip hop artist?

Beth: I'm a big fan of Snoop Dogg.

Professor: Winnie, why does Beth like hip hop?

她说,她喜欢上嘻哈乐是因为她的朋友都爱听这种音乐。而且,她还是Snoop Dogg “史努比狗狗”的粉丝。我可不喜欢Snoop Dogg,我觉得他早就过时了。

Professor: Well, even though you don't like him, Snoop Dogg is still popular. Now let's find out why Ernie likes pop music.

Beth: What about you, Ernie? How did you get into pop music?

Ernie: Well I always hear it on the radio, so I started to get into it.

Beth: Yeah, if something is on the radio it must be really good.

Ernie: I totally agree!

Professor: So did you hear how Ernie got into pop music, Winnie?

他呀,是因为老听广播里播的流行歌曲,所以就喜欢上了。要让我说啊,他跟Beth都没有什么音乐鉴赏能力,只会跟着别人走,人云亦云。

Professor: So if they started a band, you wouldn't go to see them?

肯定不会!不过,我们还是先来听听他们喜欢什么乐队吧!

Beth: What are the pop groups that you like?

Ernie: Oh, there are so many good ones! I loved the Spice Girls. They were so cool!

Beth: I agree! I cried for a week when they broke up.

Ernie: I was really sad too, but at least I can still listen to their CDs.

什么什么? Ernie最喜欢的乐队居然是辣妹组合!他们俩的音乐品味还真是有问题。不过,

Professor Bowman, 一个乐队难道也能像情侣那样"break up", 分手么?

Professor: Yes. When a band decides not to play together anymore, you can say it "broke up."

我明白了,break up在这里是 “解散”的意思。难道Ernie就没想到,辣妹组合解散是因为她们太烂吗?

Professor: I don't know ... some of their songs were good.

Wait, professor Bowman, 难道你也是她们的粉丝?

Professor: Of course not! I was ... uh ... just listening to some of their songs to prepare for this class.

Sure ...

Beth: You know Ernie, it seems we both like the same artists.

Ernie: Yes, we do. I think we have the same musical tastes.

Beth: But if we're going to start a band, we have to be able to sing and dance. Can you do that?

Ernie: I'm not a very good singer, but I'm a really great dancer! I love hip hop dancing.

Beth: Great! I'll sing, and you can dance in our band.

Professor: Winnie, is Ernie a better singer or dancer?

他说自己歌唱得一般,可舞跳得特别棒。不过,我看Beth和Ernie的音乐品味都不怎么样,肯定没人去看。

Professor: Well, we'll have to listen next time to find out!

1.In the next section listen for the phrase "to get into something," which means to start to like something.
这句话相对较长,千万不要被它吓到哦。这句话其实是一个主从复合句,主句是前面的“listen for the phrase”,而后面的“which means to start to like something”是定语从句,对前面的话进行解释,如果我们不知道“to get into something”,我们也不用担心,可以通过后面的“ means to start to like something”知道,它是“开始喜欢某物”的意思。

2. I mostly listen to hip hop, but there are many genres of music I like.
我经常听Hip hop,不过我也喜欢其他种类的音乐。

genre:A genre is a particular type of literature, painting, music, film, or other art form which people consider as a class because it has special characteristics. 体裁,类型,风格

如:Spanish painter of genre scenes, portraits, and religious subjects, such as Immaculate Conception(1668). 
牟利罗,巴托洛米奥·埃斯特巴1617-1682西班牙风俗、肖像和宗教题材的画家,比如圣灵怀胎1668


3.Well, all my friends listen to it, so I became a big fan too.
我的朋友都在听,所以我也跟风。

a big fan of someone:追星族

如;My boss is a big fan of David Beckham. 
我的上司是一位超级小贝迷。
